Lyrics for Annie, Let's Not Wait
Found something crying, it was my soul I fed it milk so it wouldn't grow old We crossed the borderline at dawn And woke up in a field of corn The farmer told me I was late I better start oiling the gate Said that those who rush will fall But I don't wanna wait for waves I don't wanna wait at all Oh, Annie, let's not wait Let's cross the river now We could sit for years Staring at our fears Oh, they're such pretty things They're so cute But our dreams are all we really need to know Found something dying, it was my light It had resigned itself to night So I threw it out a fishing line Said catch your reel and then catch mine Oh, Annie, let's not wait Let's cross the river now We could sit for years Staring at our fears Oh, they're such pretty things They're so cute But in the end they're just a suit Oh, Annie, let's not wait Time's not on our side Well it never was We know that deep inside Oh just look at you With your ruffled hair Oh I love you and that's all you need to know Annie, Annie...
